Well I would think if they are different it could be a problem. That's why I asked for a picture of what you have now. Wire colors can be different as long as they are doing the same thing in both cases. Could you at least describe how yours is wired with wire colors if possible? I think the...

Can you post a picture of the ballast resistor wiring? According to the wiring diagram for a 74, the dark blue wire should be attached to same end of the ballast (both top and bottom connectors) with the dark blue/yellow trace wire to the ECU. On the other end of the ballast, the dark...

Most ignition cylinders can be taken out but the key must be in the switch and turned to the run position. The locking pin can then be depressed and you can remove the key cylinder.

Thanks for the info. Something to keep in mind should I ever need a rebuild and have the extra money for a better rebuild.

So to blueprint an engine basically means to check all the specs for all of the parts and make sure they are all within tolerance? Is this done mainly on high performance engines? I mean I'm sure you could blueprint your /6 on a rebuild but would it really give you much more horsepower? Is...

My son asked me what blueprinting an engine was and I didn't real know the answer so I thought I would ask here. I've heard the term but don't know the exact meaning of it.

I have been reading on here for awhile now and it seems if you try and put a v8 in a /6 car the exhaust is usually a pain to route. I have a 63 Dart and I realize they did not have a v8 option although the 64 on up did. If I were to try and put in a v8 and make the needed firewall changes for...

As usual a wealth of good information I can use. Thanks for the help. I think I have a good idea of what to look for and what to plan on. I've done a enigine swap before but only back to the same type taken out. This should be a fun project and my son will learn a lot I'm sure. He's 13 and...

Thanks for all of the input. Very enlightening. So if the different engines are all the same size, it seems I should look for the best deal on the largest engine I can find. Now I think I have a 904 tranny and if so, do I just need to find the proper bell housing to hook it to a v8? Would...

What about the weight between the different engines? One much lighter than the other? Required torsion bars for each size? Keep in mind I was driving a caravan for the past 11 years and this is my first A body car. May not have been too wise to choose a 63 for a v8 upgrade.

My sense of balance is still keeping me on that fence.8) I think a 360 may be overkill for what I'm going for. That and I'm sure cramming it in the engine bay would be loads of fun. For 35 or 90 more hp is it really worth it? I'm sure I would feel the difference at 90, maybe 35 too. Are the...

Any idea what the hp difference is between the 225 and 273 stock? I am looking to possibly do a swap but again not looking to make a performance machine, just something with a little more pep than the stock 225. This will just be a car to take to shows as I do DJ them and wanted something to...

So to stuff a 318 into a 63 A body, it looks like the LA version would be "smaller" than the poly and lighter weight. Would the head width difference matter for clearance in the engine bay for the exhaust? I've also read posts about having to modify firewalls near the wiper motor to get a 318...

I'm sure this has been asked before but I don't know the answer so I will ask anyway. What is the difference between a LA and poly engine? I hear these references to the 318 engines and am just curious. Is one type better than the other? Is one worth more than the other? I know someone who...

I recently bought a 63 Dart 4 door based on budget and condition of the car which was rather great for the money. This is basically my first mopar car as I have been driving a dodge mini-van for 11 years due to the need of the size of the vehicle. I've noticed on this site that not many 63 or...
